One of the main challenges of introducing Augmented Reality technology into industrial applications is fast, reliable, low-cost authoring of animated AR content of product data created in 3D CAD systems. In this paper we present a product data information pipeline from industry used commercial CAD systems to a marker-based augmented reality system. The pipeline utilizes ISO 10303 (STEP) data protocol, DFA-Tool (Design For Assembly), and VTT’s proprietary content creation and augmenting software. The pipeline is verified with a real industrial application.
